The Devil Wears Prada
Lauren Weisberger
Dedicated to the only three
people alive who genuinely believe it rivals War and Peace:
my mother, Cheryl, the mom ‘a million girls would die for’;

my phenomenal sister, Dana, their favorite (until I wrote a book).

Clutch, gas, shift (neutral to first? Or first to second?), release clutch, I repeated over and over in my head, the mantra offering little comfort and even less direction amid the screeching midday traffic.
